--description--

As mentioned earlier, when the user edits the note and then clicks outside of the note, there should be a message to display that the note was saved.

To accomplish this, set the statusEl.textContent to the string "Note saved successfully!".

Now when you test it out, you should see that message display on the screen.

--hints--

When the user edits a note, the status message should be updated to indicate that the note was saved.

js
const event = new Event("blur");
note.dispatchEvent(event);

assert.equal(statusEl.textContent, "Note saved successfully!");

      Many languages have words that carry meanings so specific or culturally rooted that they can't be neatly translated into English. 
        
      One example is the Japanese word "tsundoku", which refers to the habit of acquiring books and letting them pile up unread, something many book lovers can relate to. Another is the Portuguese word "saudade", describing a deep, bittersweet longing for something or someone that is absent. Meanwhile, the French word "Dépaysement" captures the disorienting yet exciting feeling of being in a new place, far from home.
        
      These unique words remind us that language is more than vocabulary: it's a window into the values, habits, and emotions of the cultures that create it.
